Summary:
In this video, Rag'n' Bone Brown discusses his reasons for upgrading his table saw and the process he went through to choose a new one. He ultimately decided on the Axminster AT254SB with extended rails and cast-iron extension tables, as well as a mobile wheel base.
Here are some of the key points from the video:
The author has been using a contractor-style portable table saw for five and a half years and has found it to be mostly accurate, but with some inconsistencies.
He wanted to upgrade to a larger saw with a cast iron table and a quieter induction motor.
He also considered the option of buying an old table saw, but decided against it due to the difficulty of finding the right one and the potential need for repairs.
He set a budget of around £1,000 and had several requirements, including a 10-inch blade, an induction motor, and a cast iron table.
He researched nine different table saws and narrowed it down to two options: the Charnwood W6 V0 and the Axminster AT254SB.
He ultimately chose the Axminster AT254SB because it did not come with a sliding table (which he did not need) and it had the option for extended fence rails and cast-iron extension tables.
He also mentions that he got a discount on the saw in exchange for a full review on his channel.
